Waterline Break in Twin Falls Closes a Portion of Blue Lakes

Officials say the waterline break and repair are affecting Blue Lakes Blvd in Twin Falls between Kimberly Road and Park Avenue. The pipe break happened near Highland Avenue.

It is believed that the fix will be finished through Wednesday morning, so residents will need to use other streets to get around the area during the morning commute.

Crews responded quickly to prevent excessive water loss, but there was damage done to the road. Signs and barriers are in place to direct and divert traffic while crews work through the night.
